Newly Purchased White 06 -

ED718 · 11-16-2007, 06:08 PM

Just wanted to drop a line and introduce myself. I recently picked up a white 2006 XB and so far I love it. I have a turbo charged 350z with a Turbonetics kit and since I am going full show with the Z I needed another project to work on for a while. I have almost run out of ideas for the Z and now I can only imagine what to do with my so called XBOX and my roommate calls it. I am totally new to this type of car so I will definitely have a bunch of questions I need answered. I am going to start modding my X lightly but knowing me I may be looking to do something outrageous. I def will be lurking the forums looking for the many answers I have and hope to start changing the look of my X very soon. I was thinking of posting pics of my X but it is completely stock for now. In the meantime check out the pics of my 350z below.

Thanks I will start off with wheels for now but with so many options I am lost. I def need to find out what sizes work well and offsets also. I guess I will search and see what comes up.

Right now I am shopping for wheels, the rain guards, and the projector headlights but don't really want to go thru EBAY. Anyone have some good links where I can get the projector headlamps and the rain guards?

Welcome! nice Z and the R32 too!

^^ The Skyline was not mine but one that was used in a photoshoot for West Covina Nissan for the web site and magazine ads. The dealer also had a real S15 silvia for the shoot but was used for an outside picture unlike the one you see above.

Hey any of you guys know of any engine swap that has been done with the first gen XB. I'm getting these crazy ideas of an engine swap already.

Hi Ed!!

It was nice meeting you in person last night.

Sorry I didn’t post here earlier, I try to greet many new members, but I don’t get them all (usually if I see that several others have already shown some love I’ll move on if I don’t have anything particularly witty to add.)
And hey, I’ve been “talking” to you on our site for days now

BTW, here’s the thread I was telling you about the engine swap:
http://www.clubxb.com/forums/f2/15556-1-bad-04-a/

Basically this rolled up at a meet and half the folks there had an uncontrolled physical reaction

Which was totally deserved and completely understandable

^^ I might even think of doing a swap to a RB in my Z and then think of something for the box maybe............I dunno

don't be afraid of ebay for projectors or tails, just stick w/ sonar and altezza, and you'll be fine. (just get some clear silicone and seal them when you get them. 1/10 have fogging issues)

I'm actually gonna stick to aftermarket HID setup and skip the halo's. The tails however I have been looking for a quality LED setup either clear or blacked out.
